What does the old man often say about the good days of 369?

Seven don't go out and eight don't go home. This is really what our ancestors left to educate people. The correct explanation is: seven don't go out, which means there are seven things before going out, and you can't go out without doing it well. These seven things are' firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea', because women were not allowed to go out or rarely went out before. A man is the head of the family. If you want to go out, you must first arrange the basic life at home and solve the problem of feeding your wife and children, so that you can go out at ease. If you don't go home, you must do eight things well when you go out. If you don't do well, you can't go home. These eight things are' filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame'. Please read my blog about the origin of illegitimate children. These eight things are the basic moral principles of ancient people. If you break any laws, you are sorry for your ancestors and have no face. Weinan people like to choose a date among the three numbers "369" when they marry their daughters. What is the origin of this custom? I once asked the 80-year-old people in our village. The old man said that when they set the wedding date, they asked Mr. Feng Shui for divination, and most of them chose from "369". After the founding of New China, feudal superstitions were eliminated, fortune-telling was banned, and both men and women agreed that the auspicious day would be "369".

In order to find the answer, I will pay attention to collecting relevant information so as to learn more from the information accumulated sporadically.

Primitive people used fire to place containers containing three stones, and from then on, the concept of "several into three" came into being. People gradually find that things between heaven and earth are combined in three ways, such as: heaven and earth, people, the sun, the moon and the stars, the upper and lower levels, parents and children, body and mind, truth, goodness and beauty, spirit and so on. The eight diagrams symbol (≡) consists of three sections, which was first seen in Fu Xishi. Fu is in the era of knots, and thinks that the universe is a whole, and life is two (divided into yin and yang), two gives birth to three (yin is-,yang is-,three gives birth to three), and three gives birth to everything (yin and yang combine to give birth to everything). The thought of "three lives and eternal life" determines that eight diagrams are transformed from three hexagrams into eight hexagrams.

Among the ten natural numbers, three is often used in people's daily life to express auspiciousness and beauty, such as: three lights, the sun, the moon and the stars, three talents, three treasures, three emperors and five emperors, three mountains and five mountains, three stars shining high, three knocks and nine worships, three lucky people, three teachers, one day and one body, and so on.

In ancient times, when holding a wedding, the bride's car arrived at the door, and the groom's parents had to drive around the car three times (my hometown still retains this custom). The bride and groom should worship heaven and earth, ancestors, mourning halls and kowtow three times; Into the bridal chamber, it is customary to have no vacancies for three days, no lights for three days, and no size for three days; After the baby is born, the third day is visiting day, and family members should bring food to see their mother-in-law.

People like the number "six", probably starting from Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries and unified the world, especially like the six countries; Divide the world into thirty-six counties, count in steps of six feet or six feet, and drive with six horses, six feet wide, six inches long and six inches high.

Nine is the largest number among ten natural numbers and the noblest positive number (odd number). Ancient emperors called it the "Ninth Five-Year Plan". In ancient times, the world was divided into Kyushu, and the Zhou Dynasty cast Jiuding, symbolizing the possession of the world. And "nine" is homophonic with "long", and nine is regarded as an auspicious number, which may have started from the Zhou Dynasty.

People formally associate "369", which may be related to Zhang in Ming Dynasty. When Zhang was prime minister, the emperor was still a baby, and he had to go to court and discuss with ministers before dawn every day. In order to take care of the emperor, Zhang changed the date of the court to "369". You think that the emperor went to court in "369", and the people naturally like "369".
